Abstract
The device is intended for pumping fluid media and can be used in industry, transport and the home for pumping liquids as well as other incompressible and compressible fluid media. The piezoelectric pump (1) comprises a housing (2) containing the following components connected in series: a rear piezoelectric thrust unit (3), a piezoelectric motion unit (4) and a front piezoelectric thrust unit (5). The front piezoelectric thrust unit (3) has a pumped medium displacer (16) connected thereto. Electric pulses arriving at units (3) and (5) from a control station cause said units to become fixed alternately inside the housing. Under the effect of the electric pulses, the piezoelectric motion unit (4) moves the displacer (16) step-by-step in one direction. The positive effect achieved through the implementation of the invention is that of increasing the service life of the piezoelectric pump, expanding the scope of use thereof by increasing the number of media that can be pumped and also providing for a greater pressure head by preventing contact between the pumped medium and the friction surfaces of the housing and the piezoelectric thrust units.
Description
PIEZOELECTRIC PUMP
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a device for pumping fluids, and may be used in industry, transport and households when pumping liquids, and other incompressible and compressi-ble fluids.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The closest analogue of the claimed technical solution is a piezoelectric pump to displace fluid, the pump is part of the dispenser described in the U.S. Pat.
Nos. 7,682,354, 23/03/2010, U.S. Class 604/890.1. The pump includes a housing, a rear piezoelectric clamp section, a piezoelectric extender section, a front piezoelectric clamp section, the sections are contained in the housing and connected in series. The clamp sections are made of pie-zoelectric material that can press on the walls of the housing from inside at accession of an electric potential to them. The piezoelectric extender section is made of a material capable to change its length at accessing of an electric potential to it.
The main drawback of the analogue is that the displaced fluid contacts friction sur-faces of the housing and the clamp sections, because the front clamp section acts as the flu-id displacer in this design. It cause low clamping force and as a consequence cause low pump pressure. Also it may cause corrosion, wear and quick pump failure when chemically aggressive fluid, or fluid with smallest hard particles contact friction surfaces of piezoelec-tric housing and clamp sections. Existence of gaps between the ends of clamp sections and the housing in the phase where an electric potential is not accessing to them may be con-sidered as disadvantage. This cause vibration during operation, low reliability and low effi-ciency.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The technical problem to be solved by the present technical solution is to create a reliable, versatile and effective piezoelectric pump.
Positive effect achieved by the invention is an increase of the piezoelectric pump service life, expanding scope of use thereof by increasing the number of fluids that can be

Liquid or another displaced fluid in the claimed design does not fill space of the housing in front of the front piezoelectric clamp section, but is isolated in the displacer.
This prevents corrosion and possible wear of the contacting friction surfaces of the housing and the clamp piezoelectric sections. Consequently, the pump can deliver fluids of a wide range, aggressive, lubricating, with solid particles (fibers, sand). Increased pressure of the piezoelectric pump, that is essential to its efficiency, is provided by reliable friction be-tween the piezoelectric clamp sections and the housing in the contact areas, that can be achieved at absence of the pumped fluid between these parts.

3 DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The piezoelectric pump 1 (Fig. 1 and 4) comprises a housing 2, a rear piezoelectric clamp section 3, a piezoelectric extender section 4, a front piezoelectric clamp section 5.
The rear piezoelectric clamp section 3 consists of a bracket 6, piezostacks 7 and 8. The front piezoelectric clamp section 5 consists of a box 9 and piezostacks 10 and 11. Depend-ing on required pressure the required number of the piezostacks in the pump clamp sec-tions is included. There is a displacer 12 of the pumped fluid in the front part of the pump.
To provide cycling operation there are inlet valves 13, 14 and an exhaust valve 15.
For the pump shown in Fig. 1, as a displacer of fluid a plunger pair 12 is selected consisting of a plunger 16 and a plunger housing 17. A seal 18 is used to prevent leakage.
A bellows 19 is added to the design shown in Fig. 1, completely isolating fluid pumped by the plunger pair from the housing 1, where the piezoelectric sections 3, 4 and 5 move. The plunger 16 is connected to the box 9 with a leaf spring 20, the leaf spring 20 is the part of the box 9. The leaf spring 20 reduces vibrating oscillations transmitted to the plunger 16 that are generated by the front clamp section 5 during its forward movement.
An electrical wire 21 is connected to the piezostacks 7 and 8 of the rear piezoelec-tric clamp section 3. An electrical wire 22 is connected to the piezoelectric extender sec-tion 4. An electrical wire 23 is connected to the piezostacks 10 and 11 of the front piezoe-lectric clamp section 5. The electrical wires 21, 22 and 23 are also connected to the electri-cal socket 24.
The housing 2 comprises two friction plates 24 and two lateral plates 25 (Fig.
2), held together by bolts 26. The piezostacks 7, 8, 10, 11 of the rear 3 and the front 5 clamp sections abut the friction plates 24 with their ends through bars of the bracket 6 (for the rear section 3) or of the box 9 (for the front sections 5). Size of the two lateral plates 25 between faces contacting with the friction plates 24 is made with very high accuracy. In Fig. 2 the piezostack 10 of the front piezoelectric clamp section 5 is shown in the cut view.
Also a feedback sensor 27 to control a position of the front piezoelectric clamp section 5 is shown. There is a compressing rod 28 (Fig. 3 and 5) inside the piezoelectric extender sec-tion 4. There are notches 29 (Fig. 6) in compressing rod 28 to reduce its stiffness in longi-tudinal direction.
The bellows as a displacer of the pumped fluid for the pump is shown in Fig.
The piezoelectric pump 1 (Fig. 1 and 4) comprises a housing 2, a rear piezoelectric clamp section 3, a piezoelectric extender section 4, a front piezoelectric clamp section 5.
The rear piezoelectric clamp section 3 consists of a bracket 6, piezostacks 7 and 8. The front piezoelectric clamp section 5 consists of a box 9 and piezostacks 10 and 11. Depend-ing on required pressure the required number of the piezostacks in the pump clamp sec-tions is included. There is a displacer 12 of the pumped fluid in the front part of the pump.
To provide cycling operation there are inlet valves 13, 14 and an exhaust valve 15.
For the pump shown in Fig. 1, as a displacer of fluid a plunger pair 12 is selected consisting of a plunger 16 and a plunger housing 17. A seal 18 is used to prevent leakage.
A bellows 19 is added to the design shown in Fig. 1, completely isolating fluid pumped by the plunger pair from the housing 1, where the piezoelectric sections 3, 4 and 5 move. The plunger 16 is connected to the box 9 with a leaf spring 20, the leaf spring 20 is the part of the box 9. The leaf spring 20 reduces vibrating oscillations transmitted to the plunger 16 that are generated by the front clamp section 5 during its forward movement.
An electrical wire 21 is connected to the piezostacks 7 and 8 of the rear piezoelec-tric clamp section 3. An electrical wire 22 is connected to the piezoelectric extender sec-tion 4. An electrical wire 23 is connected to the piezostacks 10 and 11 of the front piezoe-lectric clamp section 5. The electrical wires 21, 22 and 23 are also connected to the electri-cal socket 24.
The housing 2 comprises two friction plates 24 and two lateral plates 25 (Fig.
2), held together by bolts 26. The piezostacks 7, 8, 10, 11 of the rear 3 and the front 5 clamp sections abut the friction plates 24 with their ends through bars of the bracket 6 (for the rear section 3) or of the box 9 (for the front sections 5). Size of the two lateral plates 25 between faces contacting with the friction plates 24 is made with very high accuracy. In Fig. 2 the piezostack 10 of the front piezoelectric clamp section 5 is shown in the cut view.
Also a feedback sensor 27 to control a position of the front piezoelectric clamp section 5 is shown. There is a compressing rod 28 (Fig. 3 and 5) inside the piezoelectric extender sec-tion 4. There are notches 29 (Fig. 6) in compressing rod 28 to reduce its stiffness in longi-tudinal direction.
The bellows as a displacer of the pumped fluid for the pump is shown in Fig.
4.
Tensile and compressive force is transferred to the active bellows 30 from the box 9 through the leaf spring 20 and the rod 31. To eliminate dead spaces at pumping fluids con-taining sand particles, there are additional intake valves 32 and 33 near the fixed part of the active bellows 30 in the housing.
One of the possible applications of the claimed pump design is pumping of fluids at widely varying ambient fluid pressure. To provide this the internal space of the housing 2, that contains the rear piezoelectric clamp section 3, the piezoelectric extender section 4 and the front piezoelectric clamp section 5 is filled with liquid. The pump 1 contains a passive bellows 34, attached to a wall 35 in this case. To exclude grazing of it to the housing 2 a rear rod 36 is provided. The rod is connected to a bottom of the bellows and is able to slip longitudinally in one of holes in the wall 35.
Because rigidity of lateral plates 25 is crucial for effective operation of the piezoe-lectric pump 1, ceramics or stone with a high modulus of elasticity of the 1st kind as the material of the lateral plates may be used in case of restrictions in weight or dimensions.
That requires contracting of the housing 2 parts with long bolts 37 (Fig. 7).
Also it is im-portant to provide high friction coefficient for efficiency of the pump between the bracket 6, the box 9, on the one hand, and the friction plates 24 of the housing 2, on the other hand.
To increase this coefficient a coating 38 is applied on the friction plates 24 (Fig.7). Also the coating can be applied on the sliding surfaces of the bracket 6 and box 9.
The device operates as follows.
In the first phase of discharge the rear piezoelectric clamp section 3 (Fig. 1 and 4) is in the clamped state. That means pressing of the bracket 6 onto the housing 2 from inside in the transverse direction. This happens due to accession of an electric potential from the electric socket 24 (Fig. 1) through the wire 21 to the piezostacks 7 and 8.
The front piezoe-lectric clamp section 5 (Fig. 1 and 4) in this phase of discharge is in a free state, clamping force is minimal or is absent between the box 9 and the plates of the housing 2. At the same time there is no gap. A gap indicates the incorrect settings, fault, excessive tempera-ture or wear of the pump I. Existence of the gap cause additional vibration, lowering of pressure and closest failure of the device.
In the second phase of discharge an electric potential comes through the wire (Fig. 1) to the piezoelectric extender section 4 (Fig. 1 and 4), and the section increases its length. The front clamp section 5 connected to it moves for a short distance against the force of the compression rod 28 (Fig. 3 and 5). Accordingly the front clamp section 5 (Fig. 1 and 4) moves the plunger 16 (Fig. 1) or the rod 31 (Fig. 4) with the active bellows 30 forwardly. Also moves the pumped fluid filling the space in front of the displacer 12 of the pumped fluid (Fig. 1 and 4), that fills space between the plunger 16 and the plunger housing 17 (Fig. 1) or between the housing 2 and the active bellows 30 (Fig.
4). The intake
Tensile and compressive force is transferred to the active bellows 30 from the box 9 through the leaf spring 20 and the rod 31.

That requires contracting of the housing 2 parts with long bolts 37 (Fig. 7).
Also it is im-portant to provide high friction coefficient for efficiency of the pump between the bracket 6, the box 9, on the one hand, and the friction plates 24 of the housing 2, on the other hand.
To increase this coefficient a coating 38 is applied on the friction plates 24 (Fig.7). Also the coating can be applied on the sliding surfaces of the bracket 6 and box 9.
The device operates as follows.
In the first phase of discharge the rear piezoelectric clamp section 3 (Fig. 1 and 4) is in the clamped state. That means pressing of the bracket 6 onto the housing 2 from inside in the transverse direction. This happens due to accession of an electric potential from the electric socket 24 (Fig. 1) through the wire 21 to the piezostacks 7 and 8.
The front piezoe-lectric clamp section 5 (Fig. 1 and 4) in this phase of discharge is in a free state, clamping force is minimal or is absent between the box 9 and the plates of the housing 2. At the same time there is no gap. A gap indicates the incorrect settings, fault, excessive tempera-ture or wear of the pump I. Existence of the gap cause additional vibration, lowering of pressure and closest failure of the device.
In the second phase of discharge an electric potential comes through the wire (Fig. 1) to the piezoelectric extender section 4 (Fig. 1 and 4), and the section increases its length. The front clamp section 5 connected to it moves for a short distance against the force of the compression rod 28 (Fig. 3 and 5). Accordingly the front clamp section 5 (Fig. 1 and 4) moves the plunger 16 (Fig. 1) or the rod 31 (Fig. 4) with the active bellows 30 forwardly. Also moves the pumped fluid filling the space in front of the displacer 12 of the pumped fluid (Fig. 1 and 4), that fills space between the plunger 16 and the plunger housing 17 (Fig. 1) or between the housing 2 and the active bellows 30 (Fig.
4). The intake
5 valves 13 (Fig. 1) and 14 (Fig. 1 and 4) are closed at this phase. Also the additional intake valves 32 and 33 (Fig. 4) are closed. The exhaust valve 15 (Fig. 1 and 4) in the second phase of discharge is opened. The pumped fluid goes out of the piezoelectric pump 1 at certain pressure through that valve.
In the third phase of discharge an electric potential from the wire 23 (Fig.
1) comes to the front piezoelectric clamp section 5 (Fig. 1 and 4), to its piezostacks 10 and 11, and the box 9 starts to press from inside to the housing 2. In other words, section 5 turns into a clamped state. At the same time an electric potential from the wire 21 does not come to the rear piezoelectric clamp section 3 (Fig. 1 and 4), and it turns into a free state, not clamping from inside on the housing 2, or clamping with the least possible pressure.
However there is no gap between the housing and the box 9 also in this case.
In the fourth phase of discharge an electric potential does not come any more through the wire 22 (Fig. 1) to the piezoelectric extender section 4 (Fig. 1 and 4). The sec-tion 4 turns into the idle state, that is, its length is decreased. The rear piezoelectric clamp section 3 (Fig. 1 and 4) moves forwardly for a short distance from the force of the corn-pression rod 28 (Fig. 3 and 5). At the end of the fourth discharge phase an electric potential does not access to the front piezoelectric clamp section 5 (Fig. 1 and 4) from the wire 23 (Fig. 1), and it turns to the idle state, that means it does not press from inside on the hous-ing 2.
Such a phase sequence is repeated at discharge many times until the working body of the fluid displacer 12 (the plunger 16 in Fig. 1, or the active bellows 30 in Fig. 4) reach-es its extreme front position. The moment when the extreme front position is reached is determined from a curve of the electric current changing in the wire 22 (Fig.
1). Also, this moment can be monitored by means of a feedback sensor 27 (Fig. 2).
Sucking starts after the working body of the fluid displacer 12 (Fig. 1 and 4) reach-es its extreme front position. In the first phase of suction the rear piezoelectric clamp sec-tion 3 of the piezoelectric pump 1 is in a free state, that is, the bracket 6 does not press on the housing 2 from inside, or it presses with minimal effort. This happens due to absence of
In the third phase of discharge an electric potential from the wire 23 (Fig.
1) comes to the front piezoelectric clamp section 5 (Fig. 1 and 4), to its piezostacks 10 and 11, and the box 9 starts to press from inside to the housing 2. In other words, section 5 turns into a clamped state. At the same time an electric potential from the wire 21 does not come to the rear piezoelectric clamp section 3 (Fig. 1 and 4), and it turns into a free state, not clamping from inside on the housing 2, or clamping with the least possible pressure.
However there is no gap between the housing and the box 9 also in this case.
In the fourth phase of discharge an electric potential does not come any more through the wire 22 (Fig. 1) to the piezoelectric extender section 4 (Fig. 1 and 4). The sec-tion 4 turns into the idle state, that is, its length is decreased. The rear piezoelectric clamp section 3 (Fig. 1 and 4) moves forwardly for a short distance from the force of the corn-pression rod 28 (Fig. 3 and 5). At the end of the fourth discharge phase an electric potential does not access to the front piezoelectric clamp section 5 (Fig. 1 and 4) from the wire 23 (Fig. 1), and it turns to the idle state, that means it does not press from inside on the hous-ing 2.
Such a phase sequence is repeated at discharge many times until the working body of the fluid displacer 12 (the plunger 16 in Fig. 1, or the active bellows 30 in Fig. 4) reach-es its extreme front position. The moment when the extreme front position is reached is determined from a curve of the electric current changing in the wire 22 (Fig.
1). Also, this moment can be monitored by means of a feedback sensor 27 (Fig. 2).
Sucking starts after the working body of the fluid displacer 12 (Fig. 1 and 4) reach-es its extreme front position. In the first phase of suction the rear piezoelectric clamp sec-tion 3 of the piezoelectric pump 1 is in a free state, that is, the bracket 6 does not press on the housing 2 from inside, or it presses with minimal effort. This happens due to absence of
6 an electric potential on the wire 21 (Fig. I) and piezostacks 7 and 8 (Fig. 1 and 4). The front piezoelectric clamp section 5 in this phase is in the clamped state, effort is maximal between the box 9 and the walls of the housing 2.
In the second phase of the suction an electrical potential comes through the wire 22 (Fig. 1) to the piezoelectric extender section 4 (Fig. 1 and 4), and the section increases its length. In this case the rear clamp section 3 is moved back at a short distance, against the force of the compression rod 28 (Fig. 3 and 5).
In the third phase of suction an electrical potential does not come from the wire 23 (Fig.1) on the front piezoelectric clamp section 5 (Fig. 1 and 4), more exactly in its piezos-tacks 10 and 11, and the box 9 stops to press from inside on the housing 2. In other words, the section 5 turns to its idle state. At the same time an electric potential from the wire 21 (Fig. 1) comes to the rear piezoelectric clamp section 3 (Fig. 1 and 4), and it turns into the clamped state, starting to press on the housing 2 from inside.
In the fourth phase of the suction an electrical potential does not come through the wire 22 (Fig. 1) to the piezoelectric extender section 4 (Fig. 1 and 4). This section under force of the compressing rod 28 (Fig. 3 and 5) turns into the idle state, that is, reduces its length. The front piezoelectric clamp section 5 (Fig. 1 and 4) moves back for a short dis-tance in this case. Accordingly, it moves back the plunger 16 (Fig. I) or the rod 31 (Fig.4) with the active bellows 30. The intake valve 13 (Fig. 1) and 14 (Fig. 1 and 4) are opened, also the additional intake valves 32 and 33 (Fig. 4) are opened. Through the open valves the pumped fluid fills the space between the plunger 16 (Fig. 1) and the plunger housing 17, or between the active bellows 30 (Fig. 4) and the housing 2. Fluid coming into the space to the base of the active bellows 30 (Fig. 4) through the additional intake valves 32 and 33, blurs and moves the sand particles accumulated in this area up to the exhaust valve 15.
The exhaust valve 15 (Fig. 1 and 4) in the fourth phase of the suction are closed. At the end of the fourth phase of the suction an electrical potential from the wire 21 (Fig. 1) does not come to the rear piezoelectric clamp section 3 (Fig. 1 and 4), and it turns to the idle state.
Oscillations of the plunger 16 (Fig. 1) or rod 31 (Fig. 4) with the active bellows 30 due to vibration of the front piezoelectric clamp section 5 (Fig. 1 and 4) are smoothed due
In the second phase of the suction an electrical potential comes through the wire 22 (Fig. 1) to the piezoelectric extender section 4 (Fig. 1 and 4), and the section increases its length. In this case the rear clamp section 3 is moved back at a short distance, against the force of the compression rod 28 (Fig. 3 and 5).
In the third phase of suction an electrical potential does not come from the wire 23 (Fig.1) on the front piezoelectric clamp section 5 (Fig. 1 and 4), more exactly in its piezos-tacks 10 and 11, and the box 9 stops to press from inside on the housing 2. In other words, the section 5 turns to its idle state. At the same time an electric potential from the wire 21 (Fig. 1) comes to the rear piezoelectric clamp section 3 (Fig. 1 and 4), and it turns into the clamped state, starting to press on the housing 2 from inside.
In the fourth phase of the suction an electrical potential does not come through the wire 22 (Fig. 1) to the piezoelectric extender section 4 (Fig. 1 and 4). This section under force of the compressing rod 28 (Fig. 3 and 5) turns into the idle state, that is, reduces its length. The front piezoelectric clamp section 5 (Fig. 1 and 4) moves back for a short dis-tance in this case. Accordingly, it moves back the plunger 16 (Fig. I) or the rod 31 (Fig.4) with the active bellows 30. The intake valve 13 (Fig. 1) and 14 (Fig. 1 and 4) are opened, also the additional intake valves 32 and 33 (Fig. 4) are opened. Through the open valves the pumped fluid fills the space between the plunger 16 (Fig. 1) and the plunger housing 17, or between the active bellows 30 (Fig. 4) and the housing 2. Fluid coming into the space to the base of the active bellows 30 (Fig. 4) through the additional intake valves 32 and 33, blurs and moves the sand particles accumulated in this area up to the exhaust valve 15.
The exhaust valve 15 (Fig. 1 and 4) in the fourth phase of the suction are closed. At the end of the fourth phase of the suction an electrical potential from the wire 21 (Fig. 1) does not come to the rear piezoelectric clamp section 3 (Fig. 1 and 4), and it turns to the idle state.
Oscillations of the plunger 16 (Fig. 1) or rod 31 (Fig. 4) with the active bellows 30 due to vibration of the front piezoelectric clamp section 5 (Fig. 1 and 4) are smoothed due
7 to bending and straightening of the leaf spring 20, made on the box 9. That reduces possi-bility of fluid cavitation and longitudinal vibration of the pump 1.
When pumping fluids at high or variable ambient pressure fluid that fills the inner space of the housing 2 (Fig. 4), where the rear piezoelectric clamp section 3, piezoelectric extender section 4, front piezoelectric clamp section 5 move, is forced into a passive bel-lows 34. Due to incompressibility of fluid this bellows oscillates back and forth along with the rear rod 36 following oscillations of the active bellows 30 synchronously with it. The rear rod 36 slides in one of the holes of the wall 35, preventing bends of the bellows 34 to rub the housing 2.
Usage in the industry The most successfully the claimed piezoelectric pump is industrially applicable in transport and industry for pumping fluids of high pressure and relatively low supply, where use of other types of pumps is hardly possible due to dimensions, weight and effectiveness.
